Josh Norris speaks with Kevin Long

Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long was at the Princeton Charter School this afternoon as part of his series of clinics for children throughout the northeast, and Josh Norris managed to grab him for a short Q&A session beforehand. Long says he’s worked with just about everyone in the regular lineup this offseason, but he also spoke about the work his done with Austin Romine and the since-traded Jesus Montero. Romine has eliminated his leg kick (before, after), which is a point of emphasis for Long. It’s a quick read, so make sure you check it out.

I don’t see Cashman patch-working it. I see him spending the next three weeks, first trying to find the best dump for Burnett, then seeing who will take Garcia. Tons of possible configurations. Very interesting stuff.

I’m not sure they can move Garcia before June. If that’s the case, they are moving either Burnett (if possible) or Hughes (more likely). But then again, I don’t know all the rules regarding such moves.

Total Dominication

i live in Princeton and my brother was super pissed when he found out he had missed this, he’s a big baseball player. I’m more of a watch, analyze and obsess guy than a playing guy, but it still would have been cool to go.
